I know this post was a month ago, but all of the episodes are available on iTunes for a total of 25 dollars.

But if you're strapped for cash and want to spend money on the actual DVDs, then that's really not helpful.

Battlestar Galactica is amazing. The characters are engaging, the villains convoluted and strange, and the ships are just plain drool worthy. It really pulls you in, but one of the few problems I have with it, is that if you miss an episode, you can be left reeling during the next one, or even three episodes later since there are a lot of story arcs. But once you start watching it, it's addictive.

Oh and they wait until October for the next season, so that they can have all of the episodes filmed. I think, but I could be wrong.

"Awful" doesn't even begin to describe it. I hadn't done my research and didn't know that the 2nd season DVD set cut off halfway through. And it ends in such a crippling cliff-hanger!

I thought, as I generally do, "Must... get... next... disc..." But THERE'S NO SUCH THING YET!

ARRRGGH!



I just finished season 1 (I'm getting it from Netflix - without my brother's help I would've watched it in the wrong order just like another series we all know and love). What is this about season 2 not being completely out on DVD????

How many disc in the second season are there?

Four, I think - or actually 3-1/4, since the last disk has only one episode on it. *sigh*

Thanks! I have discs 1-3 in my queue. Hopefully, 4 will be out by the time I finish? What are the chances...

I know you've started watcing, and enjoying, now on your own...
but I thought you might like to know that just today we got a great big recommendation for BSG from our own BDC (Big Damn Creator) Joss Whedon:

I'm just sneaking in to say I've been continuing to watch BSG, the wife and I are about halfway through season one and gushing isn't gonna cover this one. You guys have heard me gush, so it won't have any real meaning. You have to imagine Pauline Kael bursting into song, Lionel Barrymoore In "Wonderful Life" jumping up and jitterbugging with George Bailey, the Grinch's heart growing three sizes... you gotta start down there to explain what it feels like up here. I'll put it simply. The show is humbling. Not since the Matrix (the first one) have I had such a strong desire to go to writing school. I think it's so passionate, textured, complex, subversive and challenging that it dwarfs everything on TV. Or in theaters. Or boho perfomances spaces. Stuff hanging in the Tate? Not as cool. I'm not gonna go on, because I have to get back to work and because if I really start, this post will crash the internet from sheer length. Only downsides are a) I was already having a crisis of confidence, thank you very much and b) I can't go near any Sci-Fi mags for fear of spoilers. Apart from that, life is to be loved. The Gods are to be praised. Back to the job. -j.

I had seen various episodes over the 2 seasons, but never watched it properly, although I always enjoyed the bits I caught.

After watching the season 2 finale, I decided to go back and watch from the beginning. Anyone in the UK or Ireland who has Sky can watch the 1st season on Tuesdays, 9pm, Sky One. I ordered the miniseries, and have now seen up to the 4th ep of season 1. AND I'M HOOKED!! It's so frakking good, not Firefly good, but it's up there IMO.

It's dark, but not without hope, and it's just so well written, and extremely timely. The acting is brilliant, the characters all well-developed, and the visuals are very impressive - especially our own Zoic's work on the CGI.

Any fan of Firefly should definitley check it out - although I do say say that about quite a few shows(Deadwood, Wonderfalls...)

We're still flying.

That's not much.

It's enough.

Can you be more specific? Which scene does it appear in?

That's not much.

When (then-)secretary Rosslyn is meeting her doctor. Scene starts looking up through the skylight, then pans down. As it does, a Firefly swoops into view, engines cocked to make a landing.
